This project will help Pulpex Ltd fully achieve its net zero ambition by replacing its existing plastic lids with a biobased closure for its innovative paper-based bottles.Pulpex has demonstrated that it is possible to manufacture a biobased bottle that will enable brands to switch from glass or plastic to a paper-based alternative that is readily recycled. To achieve this aim, Pulpex has developed an advanced manufacturing process that converts a biobased feedstock (cellulose fibre) into a bottle that can be easily recycled through the existing and well-established paper collection schemes that are available throughout the UK.Currently Pulpex lids are made from plastic and the ambition is to develop a new lid that is 100% biobased. This lid will have superior functionality and will be easily recycled. The project aim is therefore to assess the feasibility of using a compression moulding process to produce a biobased lid manufactured from a combination of different biobased feedstocks. These lids will be fit for purpose and certified as recyclable in the paper waste stream.

该项目将帮助Pulpex有限公司完全实现其净零的野心，通过取代其现有的塑料盖与生物基关闭其创新的纸基瓶。Pulpex已经证明，这是有可能制造一个生物基瓶，将使品牌从玻璃或塑料切换到纸基替代品，易于回收。为了实现这一目标，Pulpex开发了一种先进的制造工艺，将生物基原料（纤维素纤维）转化为瓶子，可以通过英国现有的和完善的纸张收集计划轻松回收。目前Pulpex盖子由塑料制成，目标是开发一种100%生物基的新盖子。该盖子将具有上级功能，并且易于回收。因此，该项目的目的是评估使用压缩成型工艺生产由不同生物基原料组合制成的生物基盖子的可行性。这些盖子将适合用途，并被证明可在废纸流中回收。
